Tim Draper was correct in his prediction? Warren Buffet will send you one dollar of bitcoin if you retweet his tweet?

Better go get that meatball foot long at Subway Cowman!  Bitcoin is about to take a big old crash o' la.

PS:  I think the guys selling all the equipment, courses or exchanges / ICOs are the ones making out not the average Joe.

Oh no!  A 9% dip in a 30% upswing!  Unplug the miner!  Recycle the parts!  It’s all over folks time to go home!  :P
(No offense chewy)

I’m sittin pretty here, makin $15 a day chewin the cud.

Coinbase is probably gonna get hit with a ton of withdraw orders.  Since the IRS is trying to tighten the reigns on their not-so-little operation.
Then we’ll see some of that back on a different exchange.  Once the blocks are processed.  I imagine my new farm machine is workin on that right now.

10k’s name is Thomas isn’t it?

For those who haven’t watched Z nation - watch the 1st season on netflix.  The 3rd (4th?) season on the TV now has moved pretty far from the original plot.

Did I miss something, 10K was bit by Murphy right or did they kill him off.  Yeah, the campy humor is different...no clue why they went on the tangent to the story line.  Must have had a crew of new writers or the network decided to make it a totally different story.  Other successful shows have fell on their own swords by changing the plot lines like they have done.

 It really is a riduculous show anyway, without the other female co-star it has less appeal.
The way they did Murphy's daughter, Lucy, in a previous episode was pretty bizzarre but , it was in keeping with the inexplicable fast growth which I do not ever recall them explaining what they thought caused her accelerated aging in the first place.
No worse than the original Star Trek in its huge plot holes you could fly an Enterprise through.  How many red shirts died in that series? All without affecting the operation of the ship on their three hour tour...  oh, sorry wrong show...

I watch that show being happily ignorant. I'm surprised they killed off the drummer from that thing you do so quick.

Memory is hazy, was Jeff his Deceased father’s name?  Having completed his vengeance on 10,000 puppies and kitties he took the new name?

It is obvious you need to invest heavily in Cryptokitties with your Cryptocash.

They are quite the hot commodity on the ethereum circuit.  Those people could sell ice to an eskimo!

Seems bitcoin has a good thing goin.  About to reach lucky 13!

ASIC is the only way to go for Bitcoin, it'sno longer profitable to use with CPU or GPU is my understanding. Also you need to join a pool, can't earn anything solo anymore, it's a big gamble. My concern if I were to go ASIC is spending a bunch of money on a device that'll be worthless in a few months to a year, maybe not paying for itself and the electricity it burns.

Alternative cryptocurrencies are still profitable on GPU as well as more specialized hardware. I've looked into that a bit but not sure where to start. I was thinking about trying NiceHash with my relatively unprofitable regular computer hardware just to get an idea of how it works and waht might be possible. They mine various cryptocurrencies and pay you for use of your hardware (in BTC). I checked their website and they're down after being hacked... Not encouraging for someone looking to dip a toe in the water.

I’ve been fortunate to have a local computer guru to explain things to me.  Since the internet refuses to unanimously agree, and the FUD agents are certainly uninspiring.

Capitalism has gone full tilt on mining hardware and nicehash wasn’t ready for the digital goldrush and attention it brought.  Lack of manufacturer:dealer authority is a problem multiplied by ebay auctioneers and talking parrot journalism.

There are some tried an tru OG players still on the field.  Dunk, PM me if you have more questions.

Looks like the bitcoin trade exchanges skipped over 13k and made a standing leap right to 17K.

I don’t have a bitcoin biker patch for 17 tho.
